“Just the Job”

Left on 09/24/2013 for a stay in July 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Sep 24, 2013Stayed Jul 2013

Only a few hundred yards from the a1 but quiet. The cottage was comfortable and well kept and ideal for us to spend a quiet time after days out. Everything was in good order and much information on local area. It was nice to relax on the comfortable sofa or chair aqnd you could sit out in the garden in the "sunshine" (yes we did).

“Our sunny week in Apple Tree Cottage”

Left on 12/29/2009 for a stay in July 2009 | Iles familyReviewed Dec 29, 2009Stayed Jul 2009

We had stayed in this cottage a few years before. We noticed that the cottage had different owners (as the guest book did not go back beyond 18 months, so our previous review was not in the book). The cottage was comfortable, but not so welcoming as previously (I believe on arrival we had a welcome bowl of fruit, milk and bread previously). The garden was overgrown, whereas before it had been well looked after, and when we contacted the owners about a small issue (recycling food) they seemed annoyed that we had called. Despite this, we had a lovely stay and I would recommend this cottage as a good base for exploring the Northumberland coast.

“peace & quiet”

Left on 12/02/2009 for a stay in September 2009 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Dec 2, 2009Stayed Sep 2009

The property was found on an efficient and easy to use website. On arrival we found the cottage tucked away in a quiet villge yet just off the A1. This gave a quiet stay but within reach of lots of local places to visit. The cottage is old but well updated and modernised with lots of equipment and also helpful literature about local amenities.
Nearby Berwick-on-Tweed is an interesting town where you can easily spend a whole day in museums in shops and in walking and seeing the riverside scenery.
Holy Island is atmospheric but you need to time your visit carefully beause of the tides.
The coast is easy to drive along and the scenery with its castles every now and again is often spectacular.
The only difficult aspect of the cottage was car parking - not much space and if it rains a quick run to the car is needed.
Otherwise the peace and quiet was welcome.
